Hey Dennis,

Wow, 4GB at 7Euros is quite cheap. Here in Kenya, they are much more expensive, that's why I opted for DVD's. Had I known, I could have bought the memory sticks while I was in Europe.

How expensive are USB stick, 4 GB should be big enough, right?
Could we afford to just copy everything on a stick and give it to the schools? I assume that USB is available on all computers. How many schools are there, how many sticks do we need? In Europe I get a 4 GB stick for 7 EUR, so for a few hundred EURs we could give away a lot of sticks.

That is the perfect thing to do. I can't think of any better option. Please remind David to capture that in his Mombasa previsit since I never saw it in his form. I am almost done with the manual b the way, just struggling with the use of Wikipedia for Schools part since I lost my zim file. It would be easy if I had it for references and screeenshots
